Leisure Me

My friend Henric asked me a couple of weeks ago if I wanted to design a record cover for his leisure-project called Leisure Me. I really respect his talent in music and was proud to get to do him this favor. His music is some really funky shit, with vocals processed in Autotune.

My approach to the task was to find the key words for the design when listening to the music. I gave Henric the words: "laser", "sexy" and "space". He thought I was right on target, and left me with free hands.

I started by doing the mouth, the creator of the lyrics, as a center piece of the design. From this everything evolves. I got my girlfriend, Malin, to pose as a model for the mouth. It didn't take much nagging.
I always think of Zapp singer Roger Troutman, when I hear vocals that are processed in the computer, and I really love how he sings with a tube, connected to his "Talk-box" in the side of his mouth. This reference lead to that the band name came out from the side of the mouth, like Rogers tube.

The mouth is free floating in space with laser transforming lyrics to light in a sexy manner.
